What's in human milk

The composition, honestly: what human milk has that other milks do not, what it genuinely helps with, and the claims that do not survive being looked up.

This is where the internet is least careful, so it is where we are most. Human milk genuinely is different from cow's milk and from formula, and the differences are interesting enough that nobody needs to embroider them. These pages carry their sources, name their limits, and say plainly when the honest answer is that there is no evidence.
